HOW IT WORKS

From a name to a full report in minutes

Start with a name and a phone number or email. TellData does the searching, cross-checking and writing — and hands you one plain-English verdict.

Four situations side by side — a realtor handing over keys at a showing, a plumber working on copper pipe at a job site, a grocery shop owner talking with a new employee, and two colleagues reviewing a candidate on screen in an office.

A tenant, a contractor, a shop assistant, a first hire — the same six checks, one clear verdict.

THREE STEPS

One clear answer

You type in what you already know. Everything else happens in the background.

STEP ONE
Start with what you have

A name, a phone number, an email — even an SSN and state if you have them. More identifiers means a sharper match.

STEP TWO
We run the checks

TellData queries identity records, courts, watchlists and digital footprint sources, then cross-checks everything against the details you gave.

STEP THREE
Read one clear report

A plain-English PDF lands in your dashboard with a clear screening result — usually within minutes.

WHAT TELLDATA CHECKS

Six checks in every report

Every report runs the full scope — the same categories professional screeners use.

01SSN trace

Confirms identity, state and year of issuance, and reveals aliases and associated persons.

02Court & criminal records

Searches authoritative court and criminal databases — criminal, civil, administrative and traffic matters.

03Watchlist & sanctions

Screens the person against watchlists and sanctions databases.

04Phone intelligence

Checks whether the phone number really belongs to the name you were given, plus carrier and location signals.

05Email & account footprint

Reviews the email address and the apps and websites where it is used as a login.

06Social & web presence

Reviews public web references, social profiles and profile photos connected to the person.

The phone and email checks are powered by the same infrastructure behind reverse phone number lookup and email lookup. Once you know what the report contains, you can verify someone or compare plans.
